Valentia ~ Royal Rose Hydrating Serum

Ahhh the Royal Rose. It sounds so beautiful and fragrant. This Royal Rose Hydrating Serum is indeed fragrant and I am loving my experience with this product. My skin feels so hydrated after I put apply it to my face and neck. This is super important because it is so dry in my house when I have the heat on. The health benefits of this serum are the following:

~ deeply moisturizes skin
~ provides antioxidant protection
~ soothes & nourishes dry skin
~ smoothes skin tone & texture
~ boosts skin radiance

The serum is made with Rose Damascena, which is one of the most nourishing and skin-friendly natural oils. It provides balance, moisture, and vitamins and minerals to the skin. It feels so calming and moisturizing. I apply the serum at night after cleansing. Then I follow with my eye gel and another moisturizer to lock in the nutrients. I think you will love this serum. You can purchase it on Amazon at Valentia.

Premium Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil

My Coco and I have tried TerraMax products before and I have been able to successfully give her some extra supplements and nutrition. Premium Alaskan Salmon Oil is an all-natural Omega-3 Food Supplement with more than 15 Omega-3's, DHA Fatty Acids, and Vitamin D. It is molecularly distilled to remove heavy metals, PCBs, pesticides, and harmful toxins. Salmon Oil is the highest quality fish oil you can buy and the benefits for your furry friend are many.

I put two squirts of Salmon Oil in Coco's food bowl every morning. She seems to love the taste and eats her food with gusto since adding the supplement. The oil is said to reduce inflammation due to allergies and to reduce dry, itchy skin. Coco has frequent allergy flareups in the spring and also falls victim to dry skin in the winter. I feel confident that this product is helping to ease some of her distress. I love giving her products knowing that they do not have any fillers or preservatives. This is a simple way to protect your dog…or your cat. 

You can purchase Wild Alaska Salmon Oil here.

OZ Naturals Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser

I have tried several OZ Naturals products and have really enjoyed working with the company. Today I am reviewing their Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser. The cleanser is natural and organic and made with some powerful ingredients, including rose hip oil, more than 92 rich ocean minerals, and vitamin e. It is great for sensitive skin and feels really great on the skin. It feels light and soft but works really well in dissolving the nasty stuff that clogs your pores. The ocean minerals nourish and repair dry skin, blemishes, skin lesions, and rough damaged skin, while the botanicals soothe and stimulate regeneration of cells. The cleanser feels great but a little goes a long way. This bottle will last quite awhile. I love the company and this product. 

You can purchase Ocean Mineral Cleanser at Amazon.

DALLAS-10 Lace Up Zipper Boot Review

I love my boots!

This hiking-inspired boot is comfortable and affordable. Would it be good for hiking? I don't know! Why is it called "hiking-inspired"? It does look like a hiking boot. But it looks like a hiking boot that you could wear every day. I haven't climbed any mountains in them, but they are comfortable so far. And for someone that has long days, this is important. They are lace-up boots but they have a zipper on the side, easy to get on and off. The worst part about ordering these boots? Picking out a color. I decided on the blue and black because I love that color combination. It's a little different but, to me, it is the best color combination. I just might have to purchase the other colors eventually. They also come in all black and camel. I love them all. My one criticism is that next time I will order half a size down. They feel a little big, even with thick socks on. But overall I absolutely love these boots!

You can purchase them here at a great price.

The Supplemental People Acai Berry Colon Cleanse & Detox

Doing a detox is all the rage right now. I hear about juicing, fasting and drinking lemon, pepper, cinnamon water. There are all kinds of different ways to cleanse. I personally have never tried a cleanse. My interest has been peeked for some time and while I have thought about taking that plunge, it makes me hungry just thinking about it! I could not survive on a liquid diet and juicing sounds like a lot of work. Talk about hangry…I would not want to be around me if I had not eaten in one day, let alone 7 days. Nope! Not happening. That is why I was excited to try The Supplemental People's Acai Berry Colon Cleanse & Detox.

This I can do. I get to eat my regular foods, though of course you should try to eat healthy while doing a cleanse (chips are my weakness). This supplement is safe and effective, made with an Acai Berry base. It works to rid your colon of dangerous toxins and build-up (probably from all those chips). While eliminating the bad stuff, it also delivers healthy nutrients to the body. I love that the supplement is natural, gentle, and made in the USA. This is a supplement I can feel good about taking.

You can purchase it on Amazon.

Valentia ~ Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask

A new year. A new Valentia product to review. Now that the holidays are officially over, it is time to give my skin a boost of hydration. Valentia has given me the opportunity to test another great new product. The Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask provides intense hydration that is perfect for this time of year. The holidays and the weather have wreaked havoc on my skin and I was lucky to get this product when I did.

The first thing that I have noticed about Valentia products is the scent. Every product that I have tried from this company has smelled delicious…good enough to eat. I could just sit and smell it all day. This particular mask smells fresh and fruity. The texture is gelatinous. It is super easy to apply a thin layer. Too thick and the mask will fall off your face. Immediately after applying the mask I started to feel a mild tingling sensation. This is normal but continued to intensify. I keep the mask on 20-30 minutes before removing with a warm, wet washcloth. My face felt clean and moisturized. It really does feel luxurious during and after using the mask. The ingredients in the mask are specially selected for optimal results. 

What are some of these special ingredients?

~Silk Protein Amino Acid Blend: increases moisture content and helps produce collagen and elastin, decreasing the appearance of lines

~Botanical Hyaluronic Acid: secures moisture and plumps skin

~Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil: anti aging berry that reduces lines, diminishes sun spots, evens skin tone, and firms more supple skin

~Japanese Green Tea: anti aging, anti inflammatory, and anti irritant

~Aloe Vera: moisturizing skin and prevents aging

This mask really does feel like an indulgence. It feels like you are at a fancy spa getting an expensive facial. You can purchase Valentia's new Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask on Amazon.

Chomps Snack Sticks!

I get very excited when I get to test and review food products. It does not happen often but I LOVE it. I am a serious foody and while I love big, hearty meals I also love to snack throughout the day. Chomps Snack Sticks look like a Slim-Jim but are made with 100% Grass-Fed Angus Beef. This is important to me. I won't include an attachment but if you want to know more about grass-fed beef you should Google it (be prepared for some disturbing information about the other beef…the beef that is not grass-fed). They are also free from nitrates, synthetic nitrates, MSG, and are gluten-free.

Chomps Snack Sticks come in three delicious flavors: Original, Crankin' Cran, and Hoppin' Jalepeño. Of all three flavors I liked Crankin' Cran the best. It had the most spice, and I love spice. It doesn't taste like cranberries as I expected, though it does have cranberries in it. It also has Habañero Peppers in it, which is where the spicy spice comes from. These snack sticks are great to eat alone, straight from the pack, or as part of an appetizer plate. I was happy to have them on hand to put together a little cheese and sausage plate. Everyone agreed that Crankin' Cran was the favorite flavor. The ingredients help me feel good about eating them, but they also contain 9g of protein in each stick.

If you like beef sticks you will absolutely love these. They are definitely better than your average stick of beef. These sticks are made with celery juice that gives them a shelf-life of one year. I guarantee that is longer than you need. These will become your go-to meat snack. Purchase them here.

Happy Chomping!
